Death of Mrs. VIM. N. Craighill

This venerable lady, so recently
made a widow by the death of her
husband, herself died suddenly and
pa~inIessIy at her home in Charles
town, last Wednesday morning.
Like her husband; she was born in
this county, the daughter of James
Brown, long deceased, and a sister
of Robert T. Brown, so many years
clerk of our Circuit Court, and of
John Peyton Brown, of this place,
who yet survives her. Thus after a
married life of more than ffty-iivc
years, as seren and happy doubt
less as it is ever given to mortals TO
enjoy, this aged couple has passed
away-he in his 80th. and she in her
18th year-as blessed almost in the
circumstances of their deaths as in
those of their lives; for while old g
had wrought its weakness to both, it
was weakness that called for repose
rather than suffering. and which
neither dimmed the powers of the
mind nor chilled the genial flow of
affections. 1t was indeed, a bene-
diction to see them surrounded by
children, grand children, and great
grandchildren, calmly, vcn cheerful
Ey, awaiting the setting of the sun,
not repining as its shadows length
ened, and apparently anxious about
nothing, except that they should not
long be parted from each other, when
the final summons came. Those who
knew Mrs. Craighill and we're privi-
legged to witness the beautiful poise
of her daily life, its womanIy
strength, and its steady christian
halo, will hesitate to attempt its por-
trayal, for words could scarcely de-
pict, it to others, and for themselves
it vas something to feel, not to de-
scribe.-Democrut.
